McFadden, Goodson still in walking boots; full injury report

Raiders running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson are still in walking boots, cushioning their high ankle sprains. They obviously missed practice Wednesday and coach Dennis Allen said it’s “questionable” that they are back in time for Sunday’s game.

His facial expression practically threw on a “highly” on top of the “questionable.”

If (when) McFadden and Goodson are out, Allen said he expects to use a “similar rotation” as last week. Fullback Marcel Reece had 13 carries, former practice squader Jeremy Stewart carried the ball seven times and speedster Taiwan Jones had two carries, for a total of 72 yards.

Right tackle Khalif Barnes (back from a groin injury) took the majority of the first-team reps and Allen said he “looked good.”

^ Receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey tweaked his right hamstring in practice today and was limited.

^ On Taiwan Jones’ issues of “staying healthy, knowing what to do & protecting ball,” Allen said RB showed improvement last week in practice. Allen: “As (Jones) shows us that he’s going to be able to do that, he will see more and more time.”

^ Allen “addressed” Phillip Adams’ fumbling on punt returns and “he knows he has to protect the ball better.” Dennarius Moore would be next man up.
